I have differed from Mr. Sheridan in the accentuation of this word. He has placed the accent on the second syllable, with the authority of every Dictionary, and of every good Speaker, against him. In the first edition of this Dictionary, when I supposed Mr. Sheridan's accentuation of this word agreeable to analogy, I did not recollect the verb to explicate, whence it is derived, and which, in my opinion, ought to determine its accentuation.-See Prin ciples, No. 512. Dr. Johnson,' Mr. Scott, Mr. Perry, Dr. Kenrick, Dr. Ash, Entick, and Bar clay, place the accent on the first syllable, as I have done.

The a in this word seems floating between long
and short quantity, as it was in the Latin Fabri-
ca. I have, like Mr. Sheridan, made it short;
for though Latin words of two syllables, when
adopted into English, always have the accent on
the first, and the vowel generally long, as
basis, focus, quota, &c. when words of three
syllables in Latin, with but one consonant in
the middle, are anglicised by reducing them
to two syllables; as the penultimate in such
Latin words is generally short, and the ac-FACTITIOUS, fak-tỉsh'ủs. a. Made by art, in

Authority seems likewise to favour this pronunciation; for Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Elphinstone, Mr. Nares, Mr. Scott, Mr. Perry, and, as far as we can judge by the position of the accent, Bailey, are for the a short; and Buchanan, W. Johnston, and, if we can guess by accent, Dr. Ash and Entick, for the long a. See Principles, No. 544.

Dr. Johnson has placed the accent on the last syllable both of this word and Jocund; in which he is consistent, but contrary both to custom and to English analogy. Mr. Sheridan places the accent on the first syllable of Jocund, and on the last of this word. The reasons are the same for accenting both; they both come from the Latin, facundus and jocundus; and there is scarcely a more invariable rule in our language than that of removing the accent higher when we adopt a word from the Latin. and abridge it of its latter syllables.-See Aca
